"I won't wear it anymore, I won't wear it anymore, okay." The veins on Ruan Qing's forehead were throbbing, "Don't curse me with all kinds of bad luck."
"Quick, quick, bah three times."
As expected, Twenty-Seven said "poof" three times, eliminating the curse of the crow's mouth.
But he still said: "Don't think about it. A weak woman like you, who can't lift it with your hands or carry it on your shoulders, won't survive in our world."
After thinking about Ruan Qing's requirements for quality of life, he added: "Even if you are lucky enough to survive, even if you can make money, you won't be able to live there. If nothing else, let's just talk about the taste of the food. Vegetable oil. If you want to cook, where can you find such clear, transparent and odorless vegetable oil? The oil we have has a strong smell."
"Even if you have the ability and skills to squeeze out purer and odorless oil, where can you find many seasonings that don't exist at all? Countries are all thousands of miles away overseas. No matter how talented you are, you can't fly Don’t you want to go?”
"I know, I know, that's it, I've given up completely." Ruan Qing made an
Even if it was dangerous, he would think "I won't be so unlucky", but when he thought about it, he might not be able to get used to it in terms of food, and there would be too many delicacies to eat, so Ruan Qing completely gave up on traveling through time.
Those who want to time travel are all doing it to live as masters, and no one wants to live a life worse than in modern times.
Ruan Qing pursed her lips and blew her bangs in frustration. She glanced sideways and saw a sly smile on the corner of Twenty-Seven's mouth.
this person…
"But you simply don't understand that you can't kill, not because killing requires the death penalty, but because life is precious."
She turned around and faced him: "There is something I must tell you clearly."
He admitted it.
Why would you say something that would push her away
He clearly planned to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her.
"It doesn't matter, I can understand it. I will try my best to help you avoid this situation as much as possible, or help you find ways to make up for it after it inevitably happens.
Twenty-seven has a headache. I have already mentioned this matter once, why come again: "Didn't I already make a poisonous oath?"
Ruan Qing's eyes are clear and bright, and to Nian Qi, they often even appear to be a bit innocent.
"It's just that they can't escape my sword."
"Human life is so light."
When he said this, the meekness and harmlessness he pretended to do every day disappeared, and the light in his eyes was sharp and cold.
"But there is only one thing, which is killing people. I cannot accept it at all." She said seriously.
Twenty-seven himself didn't know why he confessed this to Ruan Qing or why he spoke to her in such a tone.
Ruan Qing stared at him for a moment and said, "What you said is wrong."
He was obviously still missing the feeling of being on the balcony just now, with the night breeze caressing the soles of his feet and having someone by his side.
And, deep down, what is that strange expectation? What on earth was he hoping for
He was silent for a moment and smiled: "What you are saying is that I have never felt that life is valuable. The businesses I have taken over include high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and martial arts masters who are so powerful that ordinary people cannot kill them."
"No, I suddenly realized just now that although you swore never to kill someone, that's because I explained to you the legal consequences of killing someone and made you understand that with modern technology, it is almost impossible for you to Escape from this objective situation. You weighed the pros and cons, so you chose to avoid it.”
But what she said stunned him.
"Twenty-seven, you come from ancient times and are out of touch with modern society in many ways." She said, "Maybe at some point, you will do something that violates the rules of modern society."
"No matter whether you are rich or powerful, no one can escape death."
She turned her body completely towards him, crossed her legs to support her ankles, and said in a very positive tone: "You have this wrong perception because you have seen too much death."
"These abnormal deaths are concentrated around you. If you see them too much, you will naturally feel that they are normal."
"But in fact, what most people see every day are people who are working hard and living a good life."
"There is a special term for your situation in modern times, called information cocoon. It means that your life is shackled in some kind of special information. This kind of information shuts you up like a cocoon, so Xiao Xiao The cocoon becomes your whole world.”
"You were born an orphan. I guess everyone in your killer organization who is like you was born an orphan, right?"
"Have you ever wondered why that kind of organization only selects orphans?"
"It's just to better isolate you from the normal world. It's just to cut off your ability to empathize."
"Orphan means that there is no one in the world who is too important to you to lose. Of course you cherish your own life, but that is just the most basic animal survival instinct. But you have no parents, relatives, or a wife. "Children may not even have friends." "So there is no one in this world who can make you feel that 'other people's lives are as valuable as mine.' It makes you lose the ability to empathize with other people's will to survive."
"But if you can break out of this information cocoon, you will find that abnormal death is not the norm in life. It simply shouldn't be."
"Life is precious, because once lost, it is impossible to resurrect or get it back."
"For example, my parents are my most precious relatives. If someone wants to kill them, I will really fight that person to the death."
"Twenty-seven, I suggest you..."
Ruan Qing wants to suggest that Twenty-Seven find someone to fall in love with and get married, so that the other person becomes his "important person" so that he can feel the preciousness of life. But then she thought about it, he was from ancient times. In the ancient society where men were superior to women, men might regard their wives as their own property rather than as an independent person.
She then changed her words: "I suggest you have a child. Blood is the easiest link between people. Maybe if you have your own child and are connected by blood, you will understand what I said today."
Twenty-seven looked at her for a while, then smiled and agreed: "Okay, if I marry a wife, I will definitely have children."
This kind of correction of three views and reshaping of cognition cannot be achieved immediately by just a few words. Ruan Qing has said everything that should and can be said.
She let out a long breath, lowered her eyes, swung her body back and forth on her ankles, stopped, and raised her eyes again: "And..."
"Although... okay, I admit that I actually like that you have organized my life in an orderly manner after you came, which makes me feel very comfortable." She said, "But my comfort cannot be based on other people's suffering."
Twenty-seven raised his eyebrows: "What should I say?"
Ruan Qing propped up her ankles and looked at the ceiling, and finally looked at Twenty-Seven squarely: "Last time in the car, we talked about whether to pretend or not. You said you weren't pretending. You have to do what you should do when you live under someone else's roof. manner… "
Twenty-seven asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Hey." Ruan Qing said, "If you don't like to do these housework, don't do it. In fact, you don't have to do it. I used to have a part-time job, so I had to work very hard. Before I met you, I was fired just two days ago, and you came here before I could hire a new one, so I didn’t have to do these things.”
But it was because Nian Qi did it consciously and very well, making people comfortable and happy, that Ruan Qing never said a word to stop him.
Now that I think about it, it is actually quite frustrating to have a killer be forced to wash and wash the stove next to the shabu-shabu pot in a small house every day.
"It was my fault." Ruan Qing was a little embarrassed, but he bravely admitted his mistake, "Actually... to me, you seem to be a character in a TV series or a novel. That is to say, I In fact, I have always cast a filter on you, and I don’t know if you can understand it. That is to say, I have never regarded you as a real, flesh-and-blood person. That is to say..."
Among Ruan Qing's somewhat incoherent "just words", Twenty-Seven was in a trance, and actually felt that a corner of his heart had been filled and satisfied.
I see.
He used to fantasize about a life after retirement - building a house, keeping some servants and maids, and marrying a wife.
In his life plan for the rest of his life, he never considered telling this "wife" his true identity and true past. There is a high probability that his "wife", who has grown old together with him, will know nothing about his bloody first half of his life.
But facing Ruan Qing, he actually expected to let her get to know the real him, not the pretended self.
Twenty-seven had to take a deep breath to suppress this feeling of heart palpitations.
He interrupted her "That's it" and smiled: "I understand."
"But I also said that day, it's not all pretending. I like to do these things." He said.
Ruan Qing hated doing housework the most. She even found it troublesome to operate the dishwasher and sweeping robot herself, so she was skeptical of what Twenty-Seven said: "Really?"
The almond-shaped eyes widened, and the suspicious look on his face made Twenty-Seven couldn't help laughing.
"It's true," he assured.
"With my skills and physical strength, these things are not even considered strenuous work. My daily practice is much more tiring than this." He said sincerely, "Moreover, it may seem trivial and boring to you, but it is not to me. the same."
"I'm beginning to believe that there are indeed tens of thousands of people who would love to watch carpets being washed and donkeys' hooves trimmed."
Because the feeling of looking at those things is probably the same as the feeling when he is cooking, folding clothes, and mopping the floor.
My mind is empty, but my heart is peaceful.
It's very comfortable, like being immersed in warm water. I don't want to come out, I just want to stay soaked. Relax your limbs and float naturally on the water.
Really comfortable.
